Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16161

Chapter 16159. Enemy? Friend?

Pei Yingzhi glanced at everyone, knowing they had all figured it out, before speaking: “Since everyone has understood, I won’t say anything more. The reason the royal family didn’t help the Creation God Sect this time was actually to give them a warning. After all, this wild boar, the sect, isn’t dead yet; it’s not time to kill this disobedient dog. And don’t forget, in the royal family’s eyes, the sect isn’t the only wild boar.”

Upon hearing Pei Yingzhi’s words, the other families were all stunned, then immediately understood his meaning, and their faces turned grim. They were very clear that the wild boar Pei Yingzhi was referring to included not only the sect but also them. In the royal family’s eyes, these aristocratic families might be another wild boar. While they and the sect, these two wild boars, were still alive, how could the royal family possibly kill their own dog first?

One family member said somewhat unwillingly, “Are we just going to let this opportunity slip by?”

Pei Yingzhi smiled and then said, “No, of course we won’t let this opportunity pass. On the contrary, this is definitely a good opportunity for us. Didn’t the Creation God Sect steal a lot of benefits from us before? Then we’ll take this opportunity to take those benefits back. But you must remember, don’t go too far. If you go too far, the royal family will still come after us.”

Everyone nodded. Pei Yingzhi looked at everyone and said, “But doing this is only the first step.”

Everyone was stunned again. Pei Yingzhi looked at everyone and said, “The Creation God Sect is not weak now. It’s already a very powerful dog, and a bit disobedient. What does this mean? It means they have ambitions. They don’t want to be controlled by the royal family forever, and we don’t want to be controlled by the royal family either, but the royal family’s strength is undeniable.” “Well, so we can attack the Creation God Sect first, and then contact them to form an alliance.”

Upon hearing Pei Yingzhi’s words, everyone was stunned. Then a family member spoke up, “Brother Pei, are you mistaken? We attack the Creation God Sect first, and then form an alliance with them? Wouldn’t it be better to just form an alliance directly with them?”

Pei Yingzhi shook his head and said, “No, if you were royalty, and you had two subordinates, both of whom were very strong and somewhat disobedient, would you prefer them to unite, or would you prefer them to have conflicts and fight to the death?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they immediately understood Pei Yingzhi’s meaning. If a person really had two very powerful subordinates, and both of them were not very obedient to him, he would of course hope that they would have conflicts and fight. But if the two subordinates did not have conflicts and instead united, then it would be them who would be uneasy. That was the most important thing.

Pei Yingzhi looked at everyone and continued, “We will outwardly fight against the Creation God Sect, but secretly form an alliance. At the same time, we will also occasionally join forces to deal with those sects. This is probably the situation His Majesty most desires. If His Majesty wants to see this, then we will present this situation to His Majesty.”

A cold smile appeared on everyone’s faces. These aristocratic families had always been suppressed by the royal family, whose strength was indeed formidable. Furthermore, the royal family had deliberately sown discord between the aristocratic families and the sects in the past. They hadn’t realized this at first, and by the time they did, it was too late. The hatred between the aristocratic families and the sects had already been established, so they couldn’t cooperate with the sects.

However, the Creation God Sect was different. The Creation God Sect had only recently risen to power, and the conflicts between them weren’t yet very deep. If they could truly form a secret alliance with the Creation God Sect, it would definitely be good news for them.

Pei Yingzhi glanced at everyone and then said, “If we can really use this opportunity to form an alliance with the Creation God Cult, then who will truly be in charge here in the Divine Kingdom in the future is uncertain.”

Everyone else smiled, agreeing with Pei Yingzhi’s words. At this moment, a family suddenly spoke up, “Brother Pei, what if we are too powerful against the Creation God Cult and manage to destroy them? Wouldn’t our plan be useless then?” Hearing this

, Pei Yingzhi immediately said in a deep voice, “The royal family will not stand by and watch the Creation God Cult be destroyed, so they will definitely take action. Even if the royal family doesn’t intervene …” “So, the Creation God Sect has really been destroyed? What do you think will happen then?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their expressions changed drastically. They immediately understood Pei Yingzhi’s words. If the other side had truly destroyed the Creation God Sect, it meant that the other side was an existence even more powerful than the Creation God Sect. They didn’t know what kind of background such an existence had, nor did they know if it would be detrimental to the Divine Kingdom. If such an enemy truly existed, then they wouldn’t be considering pursuing any interests anymore; they would have to unite and destroy the other side together. That was the most important thing.

Everyone fell silent. They had completely understood Pei Yingzhi’s words. Pei Yingzhi glanced at everyone and then said, “If everyone has no objections to the Creation God Sect matter, let’s handle it this way.”

Everyone nodded, indicating they had no objections. Pei Yingzhi continued, “Then let’s talk about another matter, the military. The most elite troops are still controlled by the royal family, which is why we’ve always been so wary of them. As for the armies in various cities, some are now under our command, but there’s a force within the military that’s been consistently opposing us. They’ve always wanted to remain neutral, refusing to side with anyone. Our most important task now is to win these people over to our side. If we can truly control all the armies except those controlled by the royal family, then we can truly stand on equal footing with the royal family.”

Everyone nodded, but one family member gave a wry smile, saying, “That’s a good idea, but it won’t be easy to achieve. That force within the military is incredibly united. They’re united, and even the royal family can’t withstand them.” “They don’t have a good solution. Even if we issue an order in the name of the imperial court to make them give up their positions, they won’t agree. So, winning them over isn’t an easy task.”

Pei Yingzhi glanced at them and then said, “Take it slow. I don’t believe they’ll stay united forever. When people unite, their thoughts won’t be entirely aligned. They haven’t betrayed their own people yet, perhaps only because our offer was too low. If we offer them conditions they can’t refuse, the situation will be completely different. So, we still have a chance, and we can’t rush it.”

Everyone responded. Pei Yingzhi continued, “Alright, if everyone has no objections, let’s all go back first. Then, we’ll reclaim all the benefits that the Creation God Sect swallowed up.” Everyone responded, then they all stood up and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in the same city, in a room of the largest temple of the Creation God Sect, a group of people were sitting. This group was none other than the leader of the Creation God Sect and his various bishops.

The leader of the Creation God Cult was an ordinary-looking man, appearing to be in his sixties. He wore the cult’s robes, but his overall demeanor didn’t resemble that of a high-ranking leader; rather, he looked like an old farmer. His eyes were half-closed, as if he were dozing.

Despite his unassuming appearance, no one dared to underestimate him. How could someone who had become the leader of the Creation God Cult be a simple person? His power was undeniable, and it was under his leadership that the Creation God Cult had gradually grown to its current state. It could be said that the cult’s success was entirely due to him. No one dared to underestimate such a figure.

The others in the room were all bishops of the Creation God Cult, and they were all discussing the matter with grim expressions, keeping their voices as low as possible, as if afraid of disturbing the leader.

After a long while, the Pope’s voice finally rang out: “Tell me, how should we deal with this?”

The bishops immediately sat up straight, and one of them spoke up: “Pope, this time it seems that followers of another god are trying to attack us. This is definitely not simple. Our most important task now is to find out which god’s followers are attacking us so that we can make targeted deployments.”

The others all nodded, but the Pope remained silent, sitting there with his eyes half-closed. Then another bishop spoke up: “This attack on us has not only caused us harm, but also…” The main issue is that it will trigger a series of chain reactions. Our cult has grown rapidly, which has affected the interests of many people. Those people have been tolerating us before, but now it’s hard to guarantee they won’t use this opportunity to deal with us. If that happens, it will be dangerous.”

Upon hearing this, the other bishops all nodded, sharing the same thought. The leader, however, remained silent. The bishops, who knew the leader well, understood that this meant he was not satisfied with what they had said, hence his silence. Everyone became tense, knowing full well that if the leader were truly angry, the consequences would be severe.

At this moment, a bishop spoke up: “Our most important task right now is to deal with the person who attacked us. Only then can we have the energy to handle other matters. Otherwise, having such an enemy is definitely not a good thing for us. So my idea is to find a way to deal with the person who attacked us first, and then we can deal with the others.”

The pope still didn’t speak, but slightly opened his eyes and looked at the speaker. Upon seeing this action, everyone felt relieved, because it meant that the pope was quite satisfied with what the bishop had said.
